Thanks for this lesson idea. I also teach sophomores and juniors and am always looking for more ways to prepare them for the MME as schools are so focused on the results. I like that the students are making their own graphs and ask to come up with conclusions about the data.One suggestion I would make is to have groups do different sets of data and have each group come up with questions that relate to their graph. One the students share their graphs and data, the other groups can answer the questions. This way all groups are not only practice analzying data, but also answering quetisons on data they are just seeing,Technical Remarks:Reading through this lesson it looks like this would all flow very smoothly with the technology. Another thing you could do in addition to this lesson is to then have students collect data using a temperature or pH probe and practice collecting data using another form of technology.

Great lesson! I really liekd that you started the lesson with questions for the students to answer. This will get them thinking about the material before you present them with the rules. I also thought the questions throughout the lesson were very good and that it was a GREAT idea to have the students pick the rule they used. The only one I thought may be a little confusing for students was 13000000. It is not very common to have a decimal without numbers after it. I understand that this will make two rules correct, but if possible you could make both of those a correct answer.Technical Remarks:The flow of the material was very good, if possible I would recommend a little more annimation in some of the slides so that students are looking at all of the material without skipping straight to the question.

Great lesson! I like that you broke down the three types of acids and gave examples of each. I thought the pace at which you worked through the lesson was good for both students using the tutorial as a review and those who were learning the information for the first time.My only comment about the material is that you may want to mention the other common types of bases, like carbonates and amines, that exist even if you don't use them in class. That way when the students move on in chemistry they are aware that there are more than just hydroxide bases even if they don't know exactly what they are.Technical Remarks:This is more just a preference thing than anything else, but whenever you go to write, you are out of your camera screen shot. This may be what you were trying to but it may be beneficial to zoom out a little on your camera to not distract the students.The only other remark I would make it that when I put in incorrect answers for the quiz questions, as a student just learning about acids/bases, I am not sure I would understand what was incorrect about my answers.
